New GSX-R 600 2008???

If it is then probably the 750 will look the same! http://i17.tinypic.com/524gz09.jpg

whoa im not too sure about that headlight...

If it is then probably the 750 will look the same! http://i17.tinypic.com/524gz09.jpg Sure that's not just a photoshopped? It's look nearly identical except for a few things.

Nope... I think it's the real deal here you go: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/mcn/2007/September/sept17-23/sep1707/?R=EPI-94683 http://www.solomoto.es/ Babelfish translation: It is not necessary that you hope the Hall Paris to know how it will be new GSX-R 600. Here you have it, in primicia. The first images of new and spectacular GSX-R 600 speak of total aesthetic renovation. For want of concrete engineering datas, we assured that in Hamamatsu one has worked to make his supersport one more aggressive. Its image follows patterns GSX-R, although it separates clearly of the great GSX-R of a liter of piston displacement. The frontal, the fairing and the quiet one of escape are the three differentiating characteristics of the new GSX-R, as well as the areas that more variations have suffered. The fairing is totally new, although their forms of family are conserved, like the height of their transparent cupola. The lateral openings stay, colín now more is sharpened and incorporates a later pilot of new diodes LED. Its frontal is characterized by a new triple optics - something convex towards ahead -, with elipsoidal center and two multiconvex, of great size. Under the light two enormous entrances for the system of forced air admission are located, which indicates a clear preoccupation to obtain to a high number of Maxima power, that surely already will surpass 130 cv. The quiet one of escape returns to change and happens to be more voluminous and it is extended backwards, in search of the sufficient volume to lodge the catalyst and to obtain a low level of decibels. A return to the origins, but with rectangular forms.

why would they do that to the exhaust? yes most people replace the stock, but that is god awful. i actually like the exhaust on the 06/07

well, at least it seems I still got the hottest looking gsxr 600! K6/K7 edition.

damn that sucks :headshake

well, at least it seems I still got the hottest looking gsxr 600! K6/K7 edition. +1 on that!!! The headlight is ok, but if the only difference is a bigger/heavier exhaust and a couple BARELY noticeable fairing changes I'm sticking with my K7. I was really hoping for some major engine and other performance parts to be upgraded... at least now I can sleep well knowing I made the right decision in buying a K7 before the riding season this year.

well, at least it seems I still got the hottest looking gsxr 600! K6/K7 edition. FO SHO!!

well, at least it seems I still got the hottest looking gsxr 600! K6/K7 edition. FO SHO!!

I do like the fairings a lot better than the 06-07 models. I am still not sure how I feel about the headlight yet. The exhaust is definitely ugly, Who the hell do they put in charge of designing those things anyways?

the first thing to go would be the exhaust!!!!!??? the blue seat is sweet!!!

im disapointed if all they changed was the styling. BOOOO. If thats the case, don't expect it to dominate the 600 class.

if this pic is genuine it makes the k6 k7 look like the new model

i think the exhaust looks like shit but the bike all in all looks good

i waited a year for this....it not bad or anything...but its nothing to go crazy about... i might as well pick up a left over 07

well, at least it seems I still got the hottest looking gsxr 600! K6/K7 edition. hell ya, and now i dont have to trade in for another couple years.

im hoping that thats still a McPhotoshop combo

wow either im the only on OR im drunk..most liekly the second but i like that bike...the colors are sick looking!

well i guess im gonna have to wait till 2010!

The rearend looks sharper than the new one. I'm glad I bought one this year. That thing is fugly.

i'm happy I decided to go with a k7, that new one blows!

Looks like I'll be in the market for an 06 red/black 750 ... how disappointing. Terrible. Why on earth would they raise the exhaust higher than they already had it? Doesn't make sense. Low COG = better.

I doubt thats what the 08 will look like. Looks very PS to me, and MCN and that motosolo has a history of not being a reliable source for leaked photos.

I like it:thumbup:

reminds me of the k7 1000...

Yikes. I think I will just keep my eyes open for a nice 05 model. *shudder*

Yikes. I think I will just keep my eyes open for a nice 05 model. *shudder* Me too. I liked the 05 more than the 06 anyway, and if this is even remotely close, I will definitely like it more than the 08. And if they only change the styling, it will still be bringing up the rear in most comparisons. I guess we'll know for sure in a couple of weeks. Chango

blue is overkill

wtf?!!!! This got to be a joke. It look like a hybrid b/w a gsxr and honda RR with a f'ed up looking can.

Now that I've finally had a chance to read the Solomoto article, here's a better translation... You don't have to wait for the Paris Show to see what the new GSX-R600 will look like. Here you go, with a "first look." The first images if the new and spectacular GSX-R600 show a complete aesthetic renovation. Even though we have no concrete technical details, we can assure you that Hamamatsu has worked very hard to make their new supersport more aggressive. It follows the design cues of the others, though it is very distinct from it's one liter bigger brother. The front end, nose and the exhaust are the three largest differences, though there are plenty of other differences throughout the bike. The fascia is totally new, even though it still bears a strong family resemblance, including the height if the windshield. The side openings remain, and the tail is now sharper and incorporates a new LED taillight arrangement. The front end is characterized by new triple optics, with one ellipsoidal headlight and two large multi-convex lights. Underneath the headlights are found two enormous entrances for the ram air system, which indicates a clear desire to conserve maximum air pressure to get maximum power - which will surely surpass 130 hp. The exhaust changes once again, becoming more voluminous and longer in a quest for sufficient volume for a catalyzer and to achieve sufficient noise restiction. It is a return to its origins, though in rectangular form. No, it's not quite a perfect translation, but it's a LOT better than Babelfish. Chango

look at the discrepancies.

Like I said earlier, we'll know for sure in about two weeks. Until then, I'm not losing any sleep over any "leaked" pictures obtained by "secret sources." For me personally, it doesn't even matter what the 08 looks like. I want another 04/05 because it's bigger (fits my 6'1" frame better) and it weighs less than the 06 and probably less than the 08 too. Chango

you know i bet that it will be better the the cbr 600rr but i dont like that exhaust or headlight. so if its all about looks i think the 06, 07 is better but who knows i mean it could be the best thing out there and that will over come the look. :lame:

i love the blue seat

Here some colours: http://static.blogo.it/motoblog/foto-spia-suzuki-gsx-r-600-my-2008/big_gsxr600_08_4.jpg http://static.blogo.it/motoblog/foto-spia-suzuki-gsx-r-600-my-2008/big_gsxr600_08_2.jpg

Disappointed, but I'll still wait until official release until I develop an official opinion :thumbup:

at least i have a very good reason to keep my k7 gsxr 600

Go, go, Gadget-exhaust! I wouldn't consider that contraption too outrageous considering Suzuki gave the current trends a big F-you by putting two monsterous cans on the sides of the 1000 this year adding significant weight and it still ruled the comparos. We'll see.... The headlight's fine.

wated a long time to see a pic of the k8 glad i got my k7 do not like it. wot the f**k is that big daft exhaust on it for

Front=Okay. Exhaust=Retard. :infrandom

Boys....Looks like it is official now. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/mcn/2007/September/sept17-23/sep19072008suzukigsxr600colouroptionsrevealed/?&R=EPI-94763 :infrandom

still dont like the can on the side but the white color looks great. almost makes me want one.

That headlight is sick I love it.

Any news on the 750's yet?

I'm diggin' that white/silver one. But I think I'll stick to my 07 for now.:thumbup:

the blue one's the best. 2nd white/silver. 3rd black. why so many silver on these color schemes. red/silver---->better red/black white/silver---->better white/white yellow/silver---->better yellow/yellow they should bring back the blue/black. silver looks ugly on a bike, right next to chrome.

God I hope it ain't the same bike except with a different body design. Blah. Whats our reasoning for buying the 08 then (besides looks for some)?

If you look carefully, it has different brake discs, clutch cover(probably engine mods), new fork, radiator. I think they fixed the K6/K7's problems, and put a little extra boost.

It appears to be the same cat as the 06/07. I bet you could use the stock stubby muffler from those years if you wanted to, but then again why would you want to.

I like the 06/07 exhausts better

I like the 06/07 exhausts better So do I. What I meant was if you are going to go to the trouble of changing the exhaust, you might as well go aftermarket.

i want the blue and white one:yumyum: but the pipe has to go

where'd the reflectors go?

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x309/mobyhomer/suzukigsxr600black.jpg What if you grab a Sawzall? :hmmm:

if the 750's have the same color scheme i might buy a 750 insted of a 600

it actually looks good from the side. But i'm curious to see the new changes.

to tell you the truth after looking over the bike over and over again the exhause really isnt that bad. also the frame looks to be the same asn the 06/07 aswell. IDK i like it but where is the frontal view?

Yeah the Frame does look the same, which makes you wonder, if there is any real changes besides cosmetics? That would be a mistake considering how drastic other brands have been this year and last year...

Nice facelift - frame and swingarm look the same as on K6/7, engine covers are different, to get the competition, the bike needs some additional power and a bit of weight reduction, otherwise I understand the same construction was kept. I am afraid the exhaust is that big to decrease noise emissions (like Gix 1000 K7 compared to K5/K6). My '06 750 standard exhaust should give 102dB - I guess on limit of legality :)

I like the all black one but that exhaust would be the first thing to go...

Yeah the Frame does look the same, which makes you wonder, if there is any real changes besides cosmetics? That would be a mistake considering how drastic other brands have been this year and last year... My sentiments exactly. The new CBR600rr is a beast, and it seems the new R6 might be a badass itself. So im eager to see whats been done to this bike under the hood. I hope they just didnt slap the K7 1000 fuel injection toggle and call it a day. Everyone needs to understand all the new exhausts on all the new bikes are going to look like A$$$$$ from now on... Its because of the European fuel emissions regulation or something inline with that, im sure someone else knows the details. So I would not be looking at new bikes worried about the way the stock exhaust looks like to much considering 90% of us will put a new exhaust on it to reduce the 20 or so pounds it adds on, and the hideous looks as well.

U could always throw a potato shooter on there :laughingr

i say they get rid of the silver tank covers on the yellow and white.

i say they get rid of the silver tank covers on the yellow and white. Or replace all the silver with black on the yellow one.

great pics, thanks :thumbup: didnt know they put a mode switch on the 600k8 :headscrat

great pics, thanks :thumbup: didnt know they put a mode switch on the 600k8 :headscrat Yes 600 and 750 K8

Yes 600 and 750 K8 interesting thanks, the 1000k7 got such crap reviews about the 3 way mode switch figured zuki would drop it all together.....oh well :clap:

that white/silver one is freggin sweet. I really want one now. I dont think I could trade my 750 for a 600 though. I like my 750 too much.

thanks for sharing:thumbup:

that white/silver one is freggin sweet. I really want one now. I dont think I could trade my 750 for a 600 though. I like my 750 too much. if you look closely on some of the pictures, they have black forks, indicating that they're the 750 model. 750 = black forks 600 = light gold forks .

if you look closely on some of the pictures, they have black forks, indicating that they're the 750 model. 750 = black forks 600 = light gold forks Yep, you can see them in comparison here. http://www.globalsuzuki.com/motorcycle/moto/supersport/gsx-r600/spec.html 600 http://www.globalsuzuki.com/motorcycle/moto/supersport/gsx-r750/spec.html 750

the 750 has way better color schemes

the 750 has way better color schemes although the colors might be better for 08, im happy that the bike overall is a lot uglier than the 06/07, at least to me, it looks ugly.

u peeps think that the 750's will be in the same color as the 600's? sorry didnt see the link earlier nevermind!

u peeps think that the 750's will be in the same color as the 600's? look closely on the previous page... the 750 has black forks... but yeah... 5 colors for the 600, 3 for the 750

too bad the 750 doesnt come in the white its not that bad!

i'll wait for the 09 1k's

thank god, no silver on the 750's. the black/candy orange is sweet.

I don't see anything in the 2008 GSXR line up that looks better than my Yellow/Black 2006 GSX-R750 ! The 2008 black GSX-R750 would look so much better if Suzuki had the rearsets, rear footrest pinions, and the muffler in black. That should be something that looks like it could be easy to change. Looks like I'll be waiting another year to see how the K9s are going to look. :hmmm:
